Your Turn

Today is national martini day. Do you prefer gin or vodka martinis or just hate them in general because you dislike olives.

I hate martinis, give me a nice tall vodka or gin and tonic. I don't like olives either

totaji said...

Gin, and either blue cheese or jalapeño stuffed olives. Yum

Me Again said...

Vodka martini, straight up, with three olives.

Simon said...

Definitely vodka!

Last time I drank gin martinis was at a beautiful home for a friend's bridal shower. We made pitchers (that should of been where I left) and I projectile vomited in the bathroom. omg I'm still haunted by that.

Dirty gin martini, please.

Stirred, vodka or gin as long as it’s dirty. Have no use for green olives except for in a martini. In Chicago there was this exceptional martini bar called the Blue Stem. It was a dive but the proprietor and bartender Lefko was an intriguing broad, who would sometimes drink with you and made the most sublime martini’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking. No need to order, you just trusted her tio do her magic. And then I found it had closed, taking a little bit of my love for Chicago with it.

No on the martinis, but I’ll take a beer.

Vodka martini, dry, skip the olives

Katy said...

Gin, very dry, with a blue cheese stuffed olive.

Jennifer said...

Never had one.

Sara, Making It Work said...

Generally not into gin or vodka.

Chocolate martinis, cosmos, or anything fruity. Dirty martinis are good, but they have to be with really top shelf spirits.

1. must be gin, preferably Bombay Dry Gin.
2. Olives must be cerignola unpitted, wiped dry of pickling brine.

According to Luis Bunuel the glasses must be from the deep freeze, the gin merely swirled in the frozen glass then put back into deep freeze.

Then the apertif and olive are added just before drinking.

I used to be into them but I don't drink anymore.

Personally I preferred gin and tonic.

Not an olive fan, give me a G&T every time.

Desi Derium said...

Hell, I’ll skip the martini and just have some olive juice!

@Rosie and @Normal Nose vomits are the worst. No matter how thoroughly you clean, that smell stays with you 🤢 I’ve only experienced it once, but once was more than enough.

GollyNedMoses said...

Super dirty vodka martinis are divine (and I'll take whatever olives you want to add!)

FififromMtl said...

Cadmium77 - I like your style
Martinis are only martinis if made with vodka or gin and dry vermouth - that's it! If you add anything else it's a Cocktail NOT a martini.
Bombay gin, with a drop of vermouth, three large queen olives - stirred - you will bruise the gin if you shake it - I don't care what you do with vodka, that's gross

The deadly Bombay sapphire! There is no substitute. Show up at my house with Gordon’s or beefeaters and you’ll be banished to West VA

Sd Auntie said...

@rosie. I did that with everclear! 🤣

OKay said...

I LOVE olives! Wouldn't drink a martini if you paid me, though.

Fifi LaRue said...

Martini: fancy word for one step up from drinking it out of a paper bag.

peawry said...

WHAT KIND OF MONSTER DOES NOT LIKE OLIVES?

Cuddlebutt said...

Grey Goose, very dirty. Love olives.
Can do it with lemon, too, instead of olives.

Kimelem said...

Dirty gin martini, with tons of olives!
